First peek
We got the keys!!! a couple of days early too, the folks we’re leasing from are super nice ~:) this is the stairway up to the soon-to-be sock rooms. Ideally I would have liked to get an actual warehouse, but realistically we aren’t really ready for that step just yet, and this place is plenty big for the next year or more, by then perhaps we’ll get a warehouse in addition to this because I love the neighborhood and there aren’t any warehouses around here that I’m aware of. We will be able to add a storefront around spring and will allow customers by appointment once we’re settled next month. If you are familiar with Portland we’ll be in the Westmoreland neighborhood, almost in Sellwood, but not quite. There are alot of antique stores and great restaurants out here and it is personally my favorite part of all of Portland. I’m super tired right now, it’s been a mentally strenuous day, but a good day, a very good day!
BTW I’m wearing the lime green Boy’s Socks, they’re such nice little socks, they hug my feet perfectly and the color makes me smile peeking out between my jeans and my sneakers ~:D

Congrats! It must be exciting to have the keys early. I know how impatient I get when I’m waiting on something big like that.
